IDEA-style JSON Helper for VS Code. Manipulate JSON directly in your editor
instead of hunting for websites. Inspired by the IntelliJ JSON Helper plugin.
Features
Prettify & Uglify — format or minify JSON with configurable indentation
and optional alphabetical key sorting.
Escape & Unescape — turn JSON into an escaped string literal and back.
Extract JSON — pull valid JSON out of logs and variable declarations,
e.g. public final String json = "{\"key\":\"value\"}"; → {"key":"value"}.
Experimental nested extraction also unwraps multiple levels of
string-encoded JSON.
Copy JSON Pointer — copy the JSON pointer (path) of the selected value
and auto-fill it into the search box.
Search view toolbar — bind the current editor as the JSON source, then
Prettify / Uglify / Escape / Unescape / Extract / Copy Pointer directly from
the helper window.
